Happy Wednesday to you guys. how y'all feeling good yes ma'am how are you morgan oh i'm doing well you know just saying a prayer for bambi but let's

get into the front page former president trump is being charged once again in his january 6th election interference case now this comes after the supreme court ruled last month that trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution from official acts in office. The Department of Justice said Tuesday's new indictment reflects that ruling and the charges against Trump have have been narrowed. Trump is accused of leading a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election and disenfranchise millions of voters. The scheme allegedly culminated in a cascade of violent attacks on police at the U.S. Capitol three years ago. Meanwhile, former President Trump says he's reached an agreement with Vice President Kamala Harris related to the September

10th debate in Pennsylvania. Republican National Committee co-chair Laura Trump says the former president can't wait to face Harris. Let's hear more from Laura Trump. My understanding is that they have agreed to the exact same terms that the Democrats dictated for the June 27th debate. They were very emphatic that Donald Trump agreed to those rules. He said, OK, Donald Trump was very agreeable to do any debate. He said anytime, anywhere, any place to Joe Biden. They had the June 27th debate that CNN hosted, who's no friend to donald trump and it really knocked joe biden's political career you know flat he debated uh hillary clinton three times in 2016 joe biden twice in 2020 and took him out of his political career

with the first debate in june so i don't think it matters donald trump will show up and he will be ready for this debate well uh vice president kamala harris is not joe biden and i'm actually kind of shocked that uh donald trump agreed to all of the rules because i thought that uh he would he would want a hot mic remember that was the whole debate that he would want a hot mic because i would think he would want a hot mic just because you know in just a straight up debate the vice president will dog walk donald trump you know she'll dog walk him about policy and all of that type of stuff but with the hot mic open, he'll attempt to over-talk her

and interrupt her and insult her. But that's what he was scared about. He was scared that, you know, that he wouldn't be able to finish a thought because her lawyer, her attorney background, that she would be questioning him even when it was his turn to speak. I think she would be respectful.

I think so. She knows how to properly debate. He wouldn't. Yes, he does. Like I said, he'd over-talk her, interrupt her, insult her. But if he did that, she would still win because he'd look like a madman. She would have moments like she did before when she was like, excuse me, I'm speaking.

He don't want that. Absolutely. And that's what people will take away. You're right. The former president said it will be a stand-up debate and they can't bring any notes. CNN reports that microphones will be muted when the other candidate speaks, and there'll be no studio audience. Now, this comes as Trump and Harris camps

have been going back and forth over the rules for that planned debate. Now, meanwhile, Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance says Kamala Harris is starting to copy policies of the former president. Speaking at a campaign stop in Big Rapids, Michigan, the Ohio senator said Harris needs to quit talking about what she's going

to do and that she needs to do her job as vice president let's hear more from vance as much as fake kamala wants to pretend that she now agrees with donald trump we've got to remind her she's the vice president right now we had broad prosperity for every american rich and poor donald trump stopped the stupid wars and stood up to the bad guys all over the world. So Van said when Trump was in office, excuse me, inflation wasn't a thought. Everyday items were affordable and there was peace in the world. He added that Trump had overdose deaths declining and was putting the drug cartels out of business. Yeah.

When they say copying policies, you know what what does that mean like there are things that we know you know america needs we want folks talking about bettering the economy we want folks talking about you know fixing the border we want folks talking about world peace so wouldn't both candidates be talking about those things yes absolutely i i agree um in fact speaking of talking uh vice president harris and minnesota governor tim walls they're set to sit down for their uh with c CNN for their first joint interview. The pair will be interviewed by CNN's chief political correspondent and anchor, Dana Bash, in an interview set to air on Thursday at 9 p.m. So mark your calendars for that.

Both Walz and Harris are embarking on a bus tour through Georgia with the interview to be the first time Harris has sat down with a journalist for an in-depth talk since Biden has dropped out of the race for reelection. So that's part of campaigning. You have to go out there and explain yourself to the American people. I don't think we're taking this. I was going to ask, why is she doing the first one with Tim Walls? Like, do you guys think that that's going to be like a bad thing? No, I think it's great. Yeah. With Walls walls for sure. You know, show that they're united. And she has to convince them white people. Okay, all those white people in the Midwest, those electoral voters,

those hypothetical swing voters, voters, those undecided. Yes, look at me here with my cuddly white man. Oh, I looked over at you and I ain't seen nothing. Hey, shut up. I was like, what white man? All right. And me on the other side of the room.

Shut up. That is front page news. All right. be on the other side of the room. Shut up. That is front page news. All right. Thank you, Morgan. We'll see you in an hour. Yep. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are open. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Marcus from Detroit, Michigan. What up, though? Marcus, what up, though? What up, though? What's happening? I just wanted to say Charlemagne.

Yes, sir. Man, my brother, you are absolutely necessary. Keep doing what you're doing, my brother. And I just want to share a story about Kamala Harris before she became vice president, when she was just running for president. Yes, sir. At the Aretha Franklin Maxwell concert, I was sitting across from her from the aisle and they tried to rope her off. She flagged them and said, no way.

She just interacted with the people and just showed a lot of love, taking photos, giving hugs. Her and her husband sitting there. That is my president. I'm not telling anybody who to vote for, but Black America, please wake up.

All right. Yes, sir. Thank you, Marcus. Hello, who's this? Hey, DJ Amish. This is Daniel from Houston. Hey, Daniel from Houston. Hey, Daniel from Houston.

Get it off your chest, Daniel. So, yes, just a quick question basically for all y'all. I'm 24 years old from Houston. I don't know as of right now who I'm voting for. But, of course, this is a very important election. So my question was, like I said to all y'all, y'all just said that y'all and y'all's opinion that Kamala Harris is going to dog walk Donald Trump. And I was just wondering to know as to why y'all think that. Because, like I said, I don't know who I'm voting for yet.

And, you know, I'm just going down the middle seeing who's gonna say what but the reason i asked that is because she hasn't done any interviews no debates and then the one interview she is going to do with tim wall is going to be pre-recorded so they can edit it before they put it out so how old are you young man 24 well uh we've interviewed the vice president kamala harris here on the breakfast club twice uh i've interviewed her on my my television show uh the gods on this truth or hell of a week whatever whatever it was called at the time you know and there's plenty of interviews and you know plenty of debates that you can go watch i would encourage you to go watch her when she was in her senate hearings you know back when she was in the senate but you can also go watch

when she debated Vice President Mike Pence four or five years ago. And I also think she deals with facts. I mean, she's an attorney, so she's trained to identify weakness in other people, especially opposing arguments. She's a critical thinker. I just think she's smarter. She's sharp, very concise. Former

Attorney General, former Senator, you know, current Vice President. She's got a lot more political experience than Donald Trump. And she's just sharper. Like, it's easy to look like that against an 89-year-old man. How old is Joe Biden? 88, whatever. 104, I don't know.

I told everybody that was going to happen in the debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. That was going to be obvious. But he's not going to be able to play with a Vice President like that. Joe Biden is 81. That's it? 81. Oh my God, his birthday is November 20th.

Thank y'all so much. I appreciate y'all's opinion and letting me know what y'all think. I like what you did. I mean, that's what everybody should do. Ask questions.

Absolutely. Ask questions about, you know, the various candidates, you know, and make your own decision about who you want to support. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Envy, what up? Are we live?

This is your time to get it off your chest. I got an indoor pool, an outdoor pool. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. We can get on the phone right now. He'll tell you what it is. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Rob calling from New Orleans. Rob from New Orleans. Get it off your chest, bro.

Yo, what's up, man? What's up? Charlamagne the other day? Yeah. I'm right here, my brother. What's happening? I'm going to be in New Orleans on September 20th at Baldwin Books, man. Man, I was going to ask you about that too, bro. Appreciate you for telling. But man, we got to stop with the truck driving slander, bro. Because, you know, down here in Louisiana, nobody can drive, you know.

So, they see you in your company truck and stuff like that, they'll pull out in front of you trying to get hit, trying to make a quick lick. So, we got to put the other drivers on notice too, man. Listen, man, I understand and I did read something that it says, no, don't hang up on a man that regular cars cause truck truck drivers to have more accidents or something like that but the mac truck drivers y'all have to be cautious of everything around y'all y'all driving them cars like they just hondas or something bro you're not in a smart car when you're in a mac truck

well we got well let's go on the line she's a female truck driver oh get him hello good morning good morning are you in your truck now i am not in my truck i'm on my way uh to my job right now okay okay so what i wanted to get off my chest is that um the caller that you guys had yesterday and he was touching on training training is the most important part of my job. Now, I do one of the most dangerous trucking jobs there are. I deliver to gas, to gas stations. And the only reason why I have so much confidence to do my job safely is because of all the training, the safety training that I've had. And that's why I'm able to do my job safely. Now, when I went to trucking school, Charlemagne.

Yes, ma'am the teachers said that they preferred women because i know you said oh i hope that mag trucker wasn't a woman they prefer women because women are more responsible behind the wheel especially when it comes to a tractor trailer so i just want to say that to you okay i was just feeding into the stereotype that women can't drive that's all okay no problem but when it comes to trucking is something different so i just want to say that to you okay i was just feeding into the stereotype that women can't drive that's all okay no problem but when it comes to trucking is something different so i just want to let you guys know that there are drivers who are safe behind the wheel we understand the responsibility that comes with the job and we want to protect ourselves and also everybody else on the road so we can make it back home to our family do you encourage me uh reporting people because i reported

jv yesterday i did call that one of them hotline numbers and report jv i do encourage you because why are you driving like this i agree that's dangerous yeah yes ma'am very much we'll be safe on that road mama all right can i shout out my instagram and my tiktok of course women can't drive mac trucks at what is it what is it seven frankly i First of all, I drive a Freightliner, so I don't like Mack trucks. Anyway, my TikTok and Instagram is a Schmegler trucker. A Schmegler. A Schmegler trucker, just like that. I like that.

Well, go follow me then. Thank you. Have a good day, guys. I'm not even joking. I encourage everybody to call uh call these these hotline numbers on any mac truck you see driving erratically okay i don't care because them trucks is huge and they cause a lot of problems on the road and us regular folks is just driving our cars trying to get to where we going and y'all got the biggest truck on the

biggest vehicle on the road and y'all acting like y'all driving little Hondas. I don't like it. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now we got Jess with the Messer Lola Rosa coming up. We do. We are going to get into LeBron James and Bronny and what that dynamic is going to look like once they get on the court together. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren, you good? I am great. All right, let's get to Jess with the mess with Laura La Rosa. News is real. We're in the headlines.

Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach and shit. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.

I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. LeBron James is entering his 21st season. And this season is going to be a little different because he's going to be playing with his son, Bronny, as we all know. Bronny agreed to the $7.9 million four-year contract. And they'll be on the same team with the Lakers. So people have been wondering, like, what is that dynamic going to be like?

Because you're playing with dad. But on the court, it's like he can't be dad, but, like, he can be or maybe not. So LeBron sat down for an interview on Uninterrupted, the shop, their show. And he talked about this. Let's take a listen. Have you thought through, not relationship, because you'll always be his dad,

he'll always be his son, but what's your working relationship? Is he going to call you dad at practice in the locker room? No, we already laid that. No, we already laid, no, he can't. We already laid that down.

He cannot call me dad in the workplace. Once we leave out of the private facility and the gates close, I can be dad again in the car if we ride together once we leave out of the private facility and the gates close i could be dad again in the car if we ride together at home i could be dad no he gotta call me like two three or braun okay or goat if he wants to it's up to him i mean it's up to him it's easy for me because i've been calling brani for so long it's not like i've been called a son a son like so it's easy for me it's gonna be calling him Bronny for so long. It's not like I've been calling, hey, son, hey, son. So it's easy for me. It's going to be the adjustment for him.

But we cannot be running down the court. And they be like, dad, push the ball down. Dad, come on. No, you cannot do that. On teams, players have nicknames, right? And some folks have personal nicknames for their teammates. You might have to say pops. Pops, pass me the ball.

They can say pops. No, I feel like they're going to give Bronny so much. They're going to try to little boy him if he's out there calling LeBron James that. He's got to be his own person. He's going to get that regardless. He's going to get that number one because he's a rookie and number two because he's LeBron James' son. Yes, they are not going to hold back on him at all. He's going

to get it ten times harder than a lot of people. I don't think he's going to play that much. I don't think his first year he's going to play that much. I think he's going to play in the times harder than a lot of people and i don't think he's gonna play that much i don't i don't think his first year he's gonna play that much i think he's gonna think so no they're probably playing the g league for a while and then when when the lakers are blowing somebody out that put him in but other than that i don't think you're gonna get that much playing time as his first year do we know yet how much the tickets for their first games are going for because doesn't that spike ticket prices a million dollars it's the lakers they're gonna be a million dollars is he starting on the lakers or is he starting in the g league first i have no idea i

don't know that i think he might be starting with the g i don is he starting in the G League first? I have no idea. I don't know that either. I think he might be starting with the G League. I don't know. I don't know. But usually they start on the G League until he gets where he needs to be. But maybe he's there. I don't know. Well, Mariah Carey's sister and her mother, you know, yesterday we reported that they both passed away over the weekend on the same day.

There has been an update. So TMZ did a story. They spoke to a source. And I guess, you know, people were wondering what the relationship between Mariah Carey. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet.

Hey, everyone. This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8th, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together. Secrets are revealed as we rewatch every moment with you.

Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on still the place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose place so listen to still the place on the iHeartRadio app apple podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts and her sister Allison was prior to Allison's passing because, you know, they have the history of Allison suing her back in 2021 for emotional distress because of some of the content Mariah Carey's book. So according to this source, that is supposed to be a close source, Mariah Carey did not have any contact whatsoever with her sister before her sister's death. We do know, as was mentioned yesterday, Mariah Carey said herself that she had got to spend the week prior to her mom passing with her mother but unfortunately not with her sister and what

they're pinning this on is the fact that her sister had a drug addiction which drove a wedge in between Mariah Carey and her sister they said that at one point in time Mariah Carey was supporting her sister both financially and emotionally but the addiction got to the point where Mariah Carey felt like she had to step back because she didn't want to enable her and because of that stepping back they had not spoken up and even at the time of uh her death so if you got an addiction i'm not supporting you financially unless i'm supporting you uh in a rehab facility other than that no and sometimes even when you're doing that it's still tough because addiction is like such a big beast you know what i mean it's really not much that you can do, but, you know, still praying for her because it's still her sister at the end of the day.

You know what I mean? So having to deal with that. Naomi Osaka, the U.S. Open. So Naomi Osaka returned to the U.S. Open. She earned her first top 10 win in the last four years. Wow. Congratulations to her. Yes, please.

So, Naomi Osaka has had like a rough couple of years. She had to take some time off. She was dealing with her mental health in 2021. And then she got pregnant, had a baby. After she had the baby baby she talked about dealing with

postpartum and basically not feeling like herself she said she was missing um you know hits when she would go play tennis that she normally wouldn't miss it was just different trying to get back into her groove but my sister's back um and this is a big thing because she also has not gone past the second round in any major tournament since coming back from having her baby so this will be her chance to you know that's dope yeah they were talking about her fit yesterday too they was like she was she had a dope fit people saying that it was an outfit that they don't usually wear on a tennis court but it was dope oh it looked like a Tennessee outfit but she did look good though

so she's back feeling like her is what she's saying yeah she's back feeling like her and she said that she told herself she was going to be more confident this go-round, and it worked. So I'm, you know, love to see it. In other news, Dane Dash owes a lot of money. He owes New York City $8.7 million in unpaid taxes. Yikes. I'm going to do a little breakdown here because it gets really steep. There's a lot of money owed to different people. So you guys know that Dane Dash right now is auctioning his part of Rockefeller, which is the big thing in that is his stake in Reasonable Doubt.

So that has been like a big back and forth conversation because people are trying to figure out, you know, since Biggs and Jay-Z are part of the ownership as well. And you have to like vote on things in order to be able to use it. Is it even worth buying the stake in Rockefeller? So Dame has been saying it is it is it is it's a piece of history you get changed blah chains with it as well all this stuff so now um billboard has done a story where they basically are saying that a lot of the majority of the money from not even majority all of the money from the auction will go to first will go to money that is owed by dame jack dame dash to several different entities so there is 8.7 million in unpaid taxes there is 832 000 that he owes to a guy named josh

weber that's the guy that he was going back and forth with in court over the dear frank movie there is 145 000 in unpaid child support between uh two women that he has kids with, Rachel Roy being one of them. And basically what is going to happen is at some point once the auction and everything is done, child support is going to come in and take their money first. Over the IRS? Yes. Oh, wow. I thought the IRS was the bullies. I thought they'd come to the front of the line if you owe them money.

But they care about the kids first. They want to make sure the kids are okay and the kids are taken care of and then they come and get their money. Yeah, so the New York City Department of Social Service will actually have first dibs according to the court documents

since Dame Dash owes a total of $145,096 in unpaid child support. Lord, that's amazing. Yes. So then after that, the money's going to filter to everybody else. And again, he's looking at, they're saying he could receive money from whatever is left.

I don't know what's going to be left. I guess it all depends on what the auction goes for. Because I broke it down here in between child support, the IRS, the money he owes to the Josh Weber guy. And there's two different balances for the Weber guy so he owes him the money for Dear Frank but then he also owes him an additional $155,000 for an unpaid like photographer for some something that they did with a photographer at one point a woman named Monique and how much for the IRS again the IRS is 8.7 million in unpaid

taxes um yeah so these are the things that they don't tell you or maybe we don't talk about enough The IRS is $8.7 million in unpaid taxes. Yeah, so. These are the things that they don't tell you, or maybe we don't talk about enough when we have conversations about being an entrepreneur and being your own boss. Correct. Because when you're your own boss, you have to be on top of all these things. This is why I be warning a lot of these folks who be bragging about being their own boss and making their own money via all of these new platforms like podcasts, YouTube,

et cetera. You got to pay your taxes. You got to get an account. You got to get a team and make sure that you do what you're supposed to do with your money. And I tell everybody all the time, don't laugh, learn like that's right. It can happen to any,

any one of us at any given time for not knowing the possible knowledge and knowing, owing that much money is, is, is a stressor. It's difficult. And that's right. You got these Patreon subscribers or these other subscriptions that you're doing and you got people paying every month and you're making a lot of money.

But are you paying your taxes? Are you on top of your taxes? I just want to say to the auction happening on August 29th. at the Midtown Manhattan Hotel. The minimum bid is $1.2 million and the prospective bidders are required to post at least $240,000 of a deposit to take part in the proceeding. So he could, you know,

depending on how interested people are in this and how bad they want it, he could get himself out of debt with this. Well, the thing is, they got to understand what the value of it is. And I don't know, but you got to figure, you know, what's the value of that rockefeller 33 percent of that

rockefeller what entities are owned under that i know jay-z uh is supposed to get ownership back after 35 years i don't know if that's true or not so it's just you know figuring out what the value of is in any business man or figure out what the value is to see if it's a great investment or not you know yeah but best of luck to him yep all right well that is just with the mess with lauren larosa when we come back we got front page news and then tamika mallory will be joining us at old movies the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club lauren is filling in for jess and let's get

back in some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Yeah, let's do it. So Supreme Court Justice Katonji Brown Jackson, she says the high court needs to be prepared to respond to this year's presidential election. Duh. Yeah, you love that one, Charlemagne, right? She told CBS News there are legal issues that arise out of the political process that could end up before the supreme court jackson's interview comes about um comes as she's about to release her memoir lovely one

jackson also addressed her strong dissent from the court's ruling that former presidents have broad immunity so yeah we might see a little fight amongst the scotuses and i've been saying my biggest concern is that all over the country come November, Republicans will refuse to certify the results of the election. And the Supreme Court, which is no longer a legitimate institution, will be right there with them every step of the way. We all know Trump is going to challenge the election results. And, you know, the Supreme Court overturning the results of the election is a high possibility just because that's Trump's court. OK, it's really just that simple. So that's the one thing I believe

everybody should be raising hell about. Like, you know, they keep using all of this little cute language like, be prepared to respond or, you know, we know they're going to challenge. No, they're going to attempt to steal. Okay? Stop the steal.

Stop the steal. Use it anyways. But yeah, it sounds like she's heard you. Your calls have been heard and you maybe at least have one person on the bench that uh can can hear you um she's out of florida so speaking of florida uh democrats in florida seem to think that the state is up for grabs a state democratic party chair nikki freed believes trump running ads in the state is very telling and florida for Harris Wall State Director Jasmine Bernie Clark claims Democrats are energized. Let's hear more comments from them.

Donald Trump is in trouble in Florida and the Trump campaign is realizing they can't win the presidency without the sunshine state. Since their last poll, Trump has gained zero ground with Florida voters. Trump's fatigue is real. It's setting in across the state and the nation. His tired, divisive politics just don't cut it anymore. It's clear that while Donald Trump takes Florida for granted, we're just getting started. So we're reaching out to every voter, ensuring Floridians know VP Harris is fighting for reproductive freedom, lowering health care costs, affordable housing, and safer communities. Yeah, so currently in the state

of florida trump uh the trump vance ticket continues to lead harrison walls by four percentage points according to the public policy polling survey and trump also has begun to run campaign ads across the state as previously mentioned democrats say uh trump takes florida for granted in their party and uh again trump Trump won Florida in 2016 and 2020. Yeah, the last time Democrats won Florida was 08 and 012 with Obama. Listen, man, we all know the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

Whenever I'm in Florida, especially certain parts of Florida, last time I was in Florida, I think I was in Tampa. It looked like MAGA country to me. It does. I mean, they be out there with the MAGA paraphernalia, the hats, the shorts. I mean, full outfits.

Like, I didn't know MAGA had full sets. I've been seeing a lot in Jersey, though, too. I've been seeing a lot in Jersey, though, too. Not like Florida. No, not like Florida. I don't need to go there. I've been seeing a lot in Jersey. A lot of flags.

I've been seeing a lot of Jersey and Pennsylvania heavy, too. Yeah, I saw, though, in the beginning of everything with Kamala, the Villages, they came out for her. What's the Villages? It's in Florida. It's like a big retirement area where, like where a lot of people moved to to retire. It's like a huge community of people. And they had golf carts. Everybody had their Kamala stuff out when she first announced the presidency.

Yeah, I'm not saying it can't be done. But boy, I don't see it now. Florida, we watching you. Well, just some more news. You could use local news for New York with the start of school around the corner. U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is calling for free meals for all school children in New York. Speaking at a Manhattan high school, the Democrat said that they have seen the important differences this has made for students in New York City, which already offers universal school meals thanks to funding set aside in last year's spending plan.

Let's hear more from Jill LeBrand. Studies show that when students have access to free school meals, they do better in school. They have better attendance rates. They have better health. They have fewer behavioral incidents and reduced suspensions. I think it put this issue front and center for all Americans to understand how important it is. And it's one that New York City has already been a leader on, which is really important because we want to make sure we can export this to our entire state thanks to more than $130 million in funding included in last year's spending plan. And here in New York City, schools like this one have been giving students free meals since 2017.

Drop on the clues bombs for those brothers and sisters. Do you know how hard it is to think straight when you're hungry? Yeah. 17. Drop on the clues bombs for those brothers and sisters. Think straight when you're hungry. Yeah. You know, when you're starving, do you know how hard it is to do anything other than think about wanting to eat? You know, a lot of us grew up on free breakfast. We grew up on free lunch, especially in the summer. So I think that is something that everybody should be like. That should be a no brainer. Not only that, that's one responsibility. Parents don't have to worry about in the morning if they can't afford food, they can't afford to pay for lunch can't afford to pay for dinner that's something that they know is taken care of by the schools and i

love that or if they have that yeah and this bill would expand to the rest of the state uh uh providing students with that breakfast lunch dinner and a snack free of charge regardless of income so they could be coming the kids could be coming home and feeding y'all um so that's like yeah absolutely that's that is a good um thing and in unfortunate news out of atlanta two people are dead and one is seriously injured after a plane tire exploded at a delta maintenance facility near hartsfield jackson atlanta international airport very busy airport the incident reportedly happened as the plane's tire was being removed uh a delta employee and a contractor were killed and a second airline worker excuse me was hurt delta is working with local authorities to investigate what happened flight aware shows the boeing 757 200 plane arrived at the airport from las vegas just before

9 p.m local time that's great that's very sad absolutely lord have mercy and can say you pray for those impacted by that. And we will keep you up. I will keep you posted and updated on how that story develops. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Follow me on socials at Morgan Media. And for more news coverage, be sure you're following the Black Information Network and BINnews.com.

All right. Now, when we come back, Tamika Mallory and Angelo Pinto will be joining us. They got a lot to discuss from DMC to voting to her new project. So, don't go anywhere, Tamika Mallory, Angelo Pinto. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRose is filling in for Jess. And we've got some special guests joining us this morning. We have Tamika D. Mall back what's good family and angelo pinto welcome thank you for having us now how you guys feeling how y'all feeling good you know ready for the fight every day we're feeling good i mean we're in a poor and political moment trying to keep our eyes focused on election and just you know be present for our folks i saw you at the dnc last week tamika as an activist uh what did saw you at the DNC last week, Tamika, as an activist. What did you see at the DNC that you liked?

What did you see that you didn't like? I mean, you know, I thought the DNC was important. I've been doing this for a long time, as you know. So I have been to a number of conventions and I get the importance of bringing the base together. And that was certainly the case. I think Chicago also did a really good job of moving people around, by the way. And so I thought that was good. It was an opportunity to see a lot of political

operatives and have an opportunity to talk to them directly about issues. And, you know, people walk in the halls, they didn't have a million security folks around them, stopping them from talking to the people. So I thought that was good. You know, obviously, Michelle Obama was the highlight. I think they gave her enough time and space, it seemed, because it's no way that she articulated her speech the way that she did without it being her. Like it had to be her words. She had to be involved in. Nobody wrote that and gave it to her. And so she really did her thing. I thought that, you know, the president, the former president, Barack Obama, should have had her speak after him.

He should have opened for her. I agree. She was a closer. Absolutely. You know, she was incredible. I mean, he's I went back and I listened to his speech as well, because I think being in the space with all the people screaming and everything that was happening from Michelle's speech that I didn't hear him well enough so I went back to really listen to what he said they was both out there like they was they were firing but of course what I didn't like is I don't I don't feel like

enough folks were talking about police accountability I thought Sonia Massey's name should have come up many times because you know this is a sister that just recently, you know, was was shot by that officer in her face. And so I thought that someone should repeat more people should have been talking about that. You know, I noticed that they brought out the officer with the weapon on the stage. There was a lot of like military kind of, you know, even the vice president saying uh that we're gonna make sure we have like a lethal military that type of language is triggering particularly to you know our communities because we're already dealing with militarized policing and um and we're looking to find ways to reduce it versus you know more but i do also understand that she has to be very clear that she's able to run

the most powerful nation as they say in the world because the world is volatile right now so she got to put all the other countries on alert the russians the chinese the north koreans and we've got the business it's bigger you know it's a macro and a micro but i still think that a part of the micro that we as black people are living under this military or militarized uh government i think that you know if we could fix that we might be able to deal with some of the external stuff that's happening around us so it's a big political discussion that you know hopefully we will continue to have well we will because you know we're going to push the issues but let me ask now so you know this conversation has been a conversation we've been having for a while now and it's it's recently reunited the last couple

of days especially applies that people feel like they shouldn't question the vice president right what are your thoughts on that you know i think we all feel up here that you question any politician doesn't matter if they black white green or yellow if you have a problem or you want to know about your interests there's no problem with questioning them well first of all shout out to my brother plies i love him and like this brother over here i debate with both of them back and forth as you should all the time that's what we do charlamagne is the only boss i ever had that i could go i could debate with all the time right about i just hit him up you know i don't agree um you know i think i see both points on one hand what i, and I'm not going to speak for Ply's, but I do see him online and some of the traction and traffic that he gets.

And what I think he is leaning into is the idea that people are questioning her for the wrong reasons. It's the intention behind the way in which they are pressing the vice president. And they did the same thing to Barack Obama. And then trying to, you know, of course, they're not black enough there. You know, they they're not qualified and all of that. So I think that that's part of the statement that he made. But at the same time, I come from the idea that we can never, ever stop putting pressure on elected officials. We have to be questioning them at all points, but we also have to be very genuine about what we're questioning, why we're questioning it,

and is it leading to an end? Or are we just doing it to find ways to discredit someone who's in a position of leadership? So I see both sides of it. And I think either way you go, and I understand the point is that at this moment she is talking about policy. But I've heard her talk about a number of issues that these things are priorities of hers. You know, in the middle class, absolutely. Talking about economic issues, talking about women's right to choose, talking about things happening overseas, talking about Israel, Palestine. I mean, we hear those things coming from her now over time she's gonna have to break it down and there's gonna be interviews and debates and all of that but i also went back and listened to other speeches

because i was like let me see if i'm missing that these other presidential candidates have just been talking about all this policy stuff on the acceptance night of the nomination and it hasn't been there that's not what they do i think the other piece too that plies and angelo pinto by the way yes are talking about is this idea that if you're going to question her question everybody yeah keep the same energy exactly i don't think trump is getting the same kind of? I don't know about Trump. Especially from Blackfoot. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt

the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as melrose place was introduced to the

world it took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level we are going to be reliving every hookup every scandal every backstab blackmail and explosion and every single wig removal together secrets are revealed as we re-watch every with you. Special guests from back in the day will be dropping by. You know who they are. Sydney, Allison, and Joe are back together on Still the Place with a trip down memory lane and back to Melrose Place. So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I see that we made these people step up and have to come with black agendas, which they never had before, because we started asking questions and pressuring them. I think it's a two way street. I think because it's a black presidential candidate, she's going to have a particular kind of scrutiny that they should have. But I think there's scrutiny that comes to her just because she's a black woman that I think in many ways is misplaced.

And I think what some folks are saying be honorable in your questioning right and don't let your questioning come from a place of gender or race-based bias because white candidates even though they may be questioned they're not going to get that and i think that's what some folks are saying and i think that's why michelle obama was important she's saying her and her husband have been here before they've seen not just the political components of what's going to happen, but they've seen some of the hate components that she's going to have to endure that make her political trajectory harder and more difficult. But also the American public's perspective is going to be skewed because of race. This isn't simply looking at a political candidate and saying, what are their policies? We're saying this is a black woman.

OK, and what does that mean for us? And should we trust a black woman? Can a black woman lead? And I think that's some of the questioning that we're seeing, that we're saying, we don't know if you should ask those questions. But you know what? With Joe Biden, we ask questions that people were upset that we asked. They hated that too. I get it.

When I asked about early signs of dementia, dementia whoa you shouldn't be asking that well i'm like it shows that he's he doesn't look as well as he did three years ago people are mad about that you ask the questions too because i think sometimes it's an attack the intention behind it and you can tell i mean come on like we listen to people and we know that part of the questioning is really for them to say we don't like you kamala harris period so no nothing that that you do will we ever be OK with because we don't like you. There are people, both black, white, all kinds of folks who don't want women to be in positions of power. They don't want a woman president, a female president. And that's it.

So, again, I get the balance of both. But I also understand that we have to always, always question and demand. And it's the way that it's done in an organized fashion is what makes it real. All right. We have more with Tamika Mallory and Angela Pinto when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is filling in for Jess. And we're still kicking it with Tamika Mallory and Angela Pious, Charlamagne Tha Guy, We Are The Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Jess. And we're still kicking it with Tamika Mallory and Angelo Pinto. Charlamagne? I always feel like they end up pointing the finger at black men, right? Because that was the other thing I had the problem I had with Flyers David. He said black men.

He started with black men who look like me are quick to ask if Kamala wants my vote, she needs to explain herself to me what she's going to do for black people. Number one, I don't understand why black men are always getting the finger pointing at this one we're the second largest voting block say that of democrats yep like i don't understand why all of a sudden it's black men are the problem well i would hope that plies would come up here and y'all would have this conversation directly because um you know i'm sure again i've been on his page a lot and i see the feedback and my son is kind of in the same uh boat if you will because he's been communicating a lot with black men and there's a different energy around kamala harris that they both are experiencing right like just dealing with

you don't go on the internet arguing with johnny and and tutu all day that's not your thing actually not bots because i've been i've seen some several of my son's friends questioning why are you supporting her blah blah blah so there is there is and i'm not saying that the issue is what the media and others are trying to uh put forward that black men are just this overwhelming number of black men won't support her or are with Trump. Right. I don't believe that that's true. But the numbers are increasing. Their numbers are increasing and there are and there are reasons. Well, I mean, I can tell because in my own family, I know what I know, the difference between the way black women and black men in my family are speaking. I can see my cousin starting to be like, well, you know, Trump and I had more money in my pocket.

And, you know, it's a it's a different feeling. So I can see it on a real level. Right. And I want to see my brothers be more organized the way that black women have organized ourselves. Nonetheless, when I go and read the platform of all these different candidates you see a void in how they speak to and address the needs of black men well you said you guys were having conversations with men like i feel like people are not listening to kamala it's like the people that i talk to they say they're voting for trump the stuff that they're saying i'm like she literally she's speaking to that so why don't you see it or hear from her what can she do better strategy wise or marketing wise to kind of make black men be like hold on The stuff that they're saying, I'm like, she literally she's speaking to that. So why don't you see it or hear from her?

What can she do better strategy wise or marketing wise to kind of make black men be like, hold on. Democrats do a terrible job at marketing themselves. I mean, it's really bad. Like, you know, it's just, you know, they have to do a better job of putting out there the things that they've been able to do. I was just looking, you know, before coming here at the Safers Community Act, right? This is billions of dollars that they have allocated to grassroots organizations and others that are in the gun violence prevention space and in the community safety space, right? You would never know that. You would never know that it happened because they do a terrible job, but also they just do a message. And by the way, let me just be honest. I do a terrible job at it as well. We do a terrible job, but also they just do a message. And by the way, let me just be honest.

I do a terrible job at it as well. We do a lot of work and we hardly tell people about all the things that we're involved in. People say to me all the time, like, why? Because sometimes when your head is down and you're doing the work, you forget about the marketing component. And a lot of us don't even want the clickbait of it all. Like nobody wants to sit there and man sometimes i get so frustrated because i'm like damn i left my comment section open and it's going wow it's 2 000 comments in there and the trump trolls and or trump people supporters

they're in my comments whatever their talking points they they in on it but looking for out for the people who are supposed to be on the more liberal progressive side to come in there is very difficult like it's always in balance so we have to find a better way to get the information out about what is happening but i would say that trust and believe as i left the house this morning they were on cnn talking about uh the vice president sitting down for interviews this is something that she's going to have to do, which I'm sure they're working on. And she's going to have to break down because they are going to question her like they have never questioned a presidential candidate before in life. And she's going to have to answer the question.

But I also want to see there's another piece. And we see this all the time when you do policy. There's an implementation piece. Right. So people like to hear you care about an issue. But how are you going to make an issue happen? Because we care about many things. But what are you going to make actually happen?

And how are you going to do so as part of what's behind? I don't know if you support it because it's like saying in your household, I support my children eating right. But you buy junk food. It's like your actions have to show how you actually support it and a lot of people's questioning is coming from a place that says you're saying this but you're doing that right you're not prioritizing the things you say you support so that's another i think level of political accountability and people may not be asking the right question but they're really, so you say you support reparations, tell me how, and now show me how, and a timeline in which you're going to implement it. And I think that's what folks want to say. Yes. Now what's our project freedom? So I'm going to read a few

of the things on project freedom. And one of the things I'll say before I even do that is project freedom on some level was a response to project 2025. So folks started to hear a lot about this plan to roll back rights, to attack particular groups. And part of what we said is that we wanted to respond to that because we're in an important political moment. But also, Project Freedom is a political platform or policy

that we said we would like to see whoever comes into office adopt. Because there are certain things that we know are important that should happen. Some of those things are an end to gun violence, end to mass incarceration, end of police brutality, strengthening and pass the George Floyd justice and policing act, providing a pathway to citizenship, ending the war in Palestine and Sudan, protecting black history, provide a reparations for slavery,

offer free college and trade school, cancel student debt, pass the John Lewis Voter Rights Act, launch automatic voter registration, restore individuals voting rights, reform the Supreme Court, expand child tax credits and provide guaranteed annual income. So it's a lot of things in there. But part of what we're trying to convey to folks is that it isn't enough to just have one policy, but you must really have a political platform that someone can adopt that creates wide and sweeping changes. The other piece is that we know a lot of these issues are connected and how you spend your money in one place will tell us how you can spend or can't spend money in other places. So we're trying to provide a comprehensive platform that, one, creates political education, but also a standard that we can hold folks who come into office. We have more with Angelo Pinto and Tamika Mallory. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess, and we're still kicking it with Tamika Mallory and Angelo Pinto, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura La Rosa filling in for Jess. And we're still kicking it with Tameka Mallory and Angelo Pinto.

Charlamagne? I was talking to my guy, Gary Chambers Jr. yesterday, and he was saying, you know, one of the mistakes that folks make, they'll ask questions like, what have you done over the last three and a half years, four years? He said, instead of asking those questions, you should be just going to them saying, hey, this is what you should be doing.

Here's the agenda that we want you to implement. Yeah, and Project Freedom is important to us because we know as we travel this country, we're going to be out there knocking on doors. We knock on doors all year round. So this is not like a thing that happens when it's a presidential election or some political person that we want to get in or take out. We do it all the time. We are always engaged in our people. And when we're knocking on doors, people, they hear you. They know Project 2025 is bad.

They understand it. They've seen it on the news. Their grandmama's talking about it. People, what do they call it? It's, you know, black folks going short in something. Project 25. We don't say it. Project 25.

That Project 25. And so people know that. But they are going to ask you, and they should, what do we have? You're in the room with these people to make mallory uh angelo pinto my son linda y'all are talking to these people what are you offering what are you demanding what are you asking for and we wanted to make sure along with our partners i have to mention uh michael blake reverend stephen green pastor michael mcbride uh dewana thompson of Thompson, of course, our sister Linda Sarsour.

This platform is something that all of us have worked on because we've been doing this work and we know the legislative items that are already out there that could help to alleviate some of the suffering that our communities are talking about. We know how they can be strengthened. We understand that passing the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act as it currently stands will not work because of one. It has been watered down so much in order to appease the Republicans who never signed it anyway. So I have no idea. Cory Booker, Senator Cory Booker, was working with Senator Tim Scott. And every day we were all advocating for what we wanted to be in the bill. And they kept saying that Tim Scott had this idea or he you know, he's trying to make the bills this way or that way in order to appease the Republican leadership. And I kept saying Tim Scott cannot get anything done if white people don't tell him what to do. So let's stop. Like it's a game that's being played. And of course, the bill fell through and it has sort of been dead since, you know, you know, since we were out there in 2021.

Now, President Biden did sign an executive order. But what we know about executive orders, they only last to the extent that the next administration wants to keep that legislation. And it only focused on federal legislation. We need to get things happening in these states. And we have to be able to hold these police departments accountable. Let me just say this last thing. Last week, people were heartbroken to see that there has been yet another setback in the case of the killing of Breonna Taylor.

And so there was two charges two federal charges that the judge dismissed and of course they continuously blamed Kenny Walker which is disrespectful and disingenuous because nobody in that building heard the police officers announce themselves and to say who they were at the. And I don't know where these other people live, but I know in black people's homes, if you knock on the door and don't say who you are when we say who it is, we're not opening the door for you. In fact, we finna get quiet, move around, try to make sure we're out the way of the door. That's what we do. That's what they did. But also in the state of Kentucky these

people pass laws and then they get mad at you for following it you are allowed to fire a warning shot inside of your home if you feel in danger that is what Kenny Walker did he did nothing wrong so we saw the setback where this 80 year old conservative judge dismissed these two charges, which are, again, the federal charges, which would have been felonies. Right. There's still charges that those officers are facing. But it took him two years. And for whatever reason, they decide to announce this the day after the DNC. Maybe it's conspiracy. I don't know. But it's just very interesting. It took him two years. I've been sitting here waiting to ask you about Breonna Taylor because for me, like, I've been studying. I've been reported on this case since it first started having a conversation.

And people have continuously said if there were a video, things would be different. Now we're here, right, where the charges are being dropped and, like, there probably have to be an appeal, which is going to stretch things out, which is out which is like heartbreaking for the family i feel like it's a public trust thing now like do you feel like this is going to shake public trust even when it comes to like kamala because people are going to be looking at her like i mean you're a black woman now like we don't we don't have the luxury to say well biden he's there but he kind of he does what he can do but he doesn't get it well it i mean by the way it is and i think that was one of the things that was missing from her speech again i feel like she should have named brianna taylor sonia massey um you know on other issues she was very very strong and i would like to see the same energy around police accountability and and i know there are some of my people especially my elders who

will be like well you know that may not have been the time or place. And we debate that. Always say we don't. It's not the time or place. And we have to wait until and it's going to happen later. He said that in 2020 at her debate because I was listening to an old podcast, me, Bakari and Ebony K. Williams. And that's one of the things that Ebony brought up. She was she had spoken to Breonna Taylor Moore.

I guess it came up during the Mike Pence debate. I forgot what the context was absolutely so I think that that should have happened but I just want to say to drill down this point it's not that I'm not thinking objectively about what Trump can do or that I'm listening to some you know misinformation on the internet I'm telling you about what was happening when he was president so what do y'all think the Democrats need to do to win this election in november oh they gotta let me tell you do not translate excitement at a convention or even excitement about you know her ascension to the top of the ticket to vote because you got to knock on doors you have to go out and educate people and you have to make sure that there's resources on

the ground right and we're not talking about on the ground. Like there's some people that claim they on the ground. No, like tangible. But we're talking about under the root. They say there's the grass root and then there's under the root. There's people. Right. Those people have to have the resources that they need to be able to knock on doors.

You need credible messengers. This whole process of we got to vet everything and everybody. And, you know, if you had this issue or that of we got to vet everything and everybody. And, you know, if you had this issue or that, we got to stay away from you. And we have to do that. You know, one day I'll tell my story about what happened to me during the Stacey Abrams campaign. In fact, it's in my book. The new book?

In the new book. The new book. How about that? What's the date of the new book? Might as well plug it right now. The new book comes out when? It's called I Live to Tell This Story. And it's going to be released in the winter by the way stacy abel's had nothing to do with this but i talk about me being held or told not

to come to georgia at all don't even step foot in the state during the time in the last few days of her election and the folks saying it to me they really did have good intention you know what i mean so i'll tell y'all can they pre-order now or not yet not yet not yet well how can people follow you and support you if need be you want to follow me and by the way let me go back and say my book name is i live to tell this story the cover is amazing it's about to drop i'm really excited about it this book is not um a political book it is i mean there is some political commentary in there, but this book is my memoir. It's about my life. And that's why I say I live to tell this story.

And I hope that people will pick it up so that you can learn more about me outside of what you read online. Or even when you see me in the street, there's there's a lot of stuff about imposter syndrome and other things that I have been through in my life that have helped me come to this point. So make sure you guys stay with the journey for the new book. You can go to add to me to see Mallory on Instagram. Follow us until freedom. We are until freedom dot com. We're at until freedom.

But that's long, long, long distance. Yeah. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions. But you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

All right. Alicia Keys, speaking of couples, Alicia Keys has some comments about DJs, which is crazy because her man is a DJ. But she has some comments. Stargoth is a DJ, yep. She has some comments, and I just thought it was interesting. Let's take a listen.

What the **** do DJs actually do? Like, I don't think they're remixing a song on the spot. I'm pretty sure they've, like, programmed it ahead of time. So what are they actually doing? Are they just turning up the volume, turning down the volume, pressing like this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and then just dancing? And, like, what the **** do DJs actually do?

DJ Envy. Yes, ma'am. Answer, what do DJs do? i mean a dj broke her record her first record that came out the what what what with the the odb sample djs broke that record do you remix on the spot i'm not a remixer i'm not a producer i'm a dj i play records the soundtrack of the streets that make people want to dance to move their bodies to groove uh i feel like i need more context i feel like yeah i feel like that that's something that came out of a tiktok challenge that she was joking because i think alicia keys would know the importance of a dj she is from new york a man started off as a dj so i feel like it it's coming from some parties

you go to a party the dj is playing the music that's what i'm saying i need more contact that don't sound like alicia keys something sounds little... It would have to be, though. Especially to her being like a music artist. She would have to understand. But also, too, you said you don't remix stuff on the spot. I thought that that's like just a part of a DJ thing.

Like when they make the... You know how the words be blending together and all that? That's a blend. That's music, yeah. But not a remix as in... Oh, okay. That I'm not changing up the beats

at a party. I mean, DJs blend. DJs produce. DJs, you know, there's a bunch of different DJs that do different things, but. That's the biggest thing I would say DJs do. DJs play music. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? Especially at parties. You can't have a party without a DJ. As I said, this has to come from someplace else. This was a TikTok challenge that she did something like, it doesn't sound right, especially with Swizz, her husband, being starting off as a DJ and still DJing.

I need more context. We'll get more in the meantime i can't believe how y'all just acted in that challenge y'all really love each other you jealous you just want me to remind you that you're single yet again you don't gotta remind me you did not have to go back to that listen the more you do this i'm not gonna put myself on the spot like that my mama says you want more grandkids she's relying on you she was up here earlier this week okay why she relying on me mama lois says she want more grandkids okay i'm like calling in the seventh man like i barely made it off the bench don't

Alright well thank you For Jess with the mess With Laura and the Rosa Alright Charlamagne Who you giving that donkey to Listen for after the hour man We need a woman Named Samantha McPherson

Of Arkansas To come to the front Of the congregation What is happening to her Is absolutely one of my Worst nightmares But it is a teachable moment. We'll discuss.

All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Some donkey today just saw themselves. I've been watching you, Charlamagne. I was ready for you.

I'm a donkey. I'm a donkey. I'm a donkey. What is it? I'm a donkey. Say it again, Charlamagne. I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey.

I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, August 28th, goes to 58-year-old Tamantha McPherson of Arkansas. Tamantha, Tamantha, Tamantha, you are too grown to be making rookie mistakes. Okay, now,

Samantha is a connoisseur of edibles. Okay, edibles are all the rage now. All right, marijuana is legal in 38 states for medical reasons

in about 24 states for recreational purposes. I am an edible user. Okay, only on weekends when I want to relax. Started doing it during the pandemic

when my anxiety was through the roof. Okay, I was having trouble sleeping. Had a friend of mine who was in the cannabis business and he also deals with anxiety and he put me onto some good old indigo okay once i learned my dosage which is about five to ten milligrams i was good i don't do it every day i only do it on weekends and i enjoy it okay tyson bites punch bar chocolates and wild edibles are my favorites if you must know i'm saying all

that for you to understand what happened to Samantha is one of my worst nightmares. But it's a teachable moment for us all. See, Samantha is an owner of an in-home daycare. Okay? You already know where this is going. And she's been charged after two kids, a 2-year-old and a 15-month-old, allegedly ate marijuana gummies while in her care yes according to ky3 investigators said on april 3rd the parents of a two-year-old picked her up from daycare and noticed she was not acting like herself they took her to the hospital and lab test results came back to show the young lady had marijuana in her system

on april 5th authorities got another call about a second daycare victim these parents told police that when they picked up their 15 month old boy from the daycare, he was acting unusual. OK, they took the child to a pediatrician who did a blood test. The result came back positive for marijuana as well. Authorities interviewed McPherson and she said she takes THC gummies and stores them in the kitchen area. Deputy said that's the same area where the kids eat and play okay McPherson told investigators there are around eight kids at the daycare and the 58 year old woman also told investigators she buys the gummies in Missouri and brings them back to Arkansas this is why parents

have to have a mini fridge in their rooms with a lock on it okay or if you have a fridge outside in the garage like I do put him in there these edibles edibles look like candy. They taste like candy. They're gummies. They're chocolates. Kids will be attracted to that like a rapper under 25 is attracted to fentanyl. And when I tell you as a parent, these are things I think about because I got small kids in the house. There is no reason that you, Samantha, shouldn't be thinking about these things, too. OK, especially when you have an in-home daycare. Listen, adults, we grown, okay? We can do what grown folks do. We know we grown and we can do all the grown things we want. But in the process of doing our grown activities,

like the edibles, we have to think about protecting our kids and furthermore, protecting our peace. Because when I'm high and my mind gets to wandering, I start thinking about my thing. I start thinking about things like, you know, you know, I start thinking about things my child would ask me normally, which can blow you high. But imagine if they accidentally got in your stash and got high. The questions they would ask. Now, where's my man, Big Mac?

Mac, hit the wobble. Oh, you know wobble? Oh, I'm sorry. He had on my songs earlier that y'all was traumatizing me, but he better had a wobble. Wobble, baby, wobble, baby, wobble. I'll sing it. Now, Mac,

you pretend to be high toddler one. I'll be high toddler two. Let's blow our parents high with questions. Go. Got it. Mommy, mommy. Give me some music first.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Let's set the vibe. Give me some music. Turn that up a little bit. Ooh, that's Rugrats. Okay, I like that. I like that. I like that.

Okay. Mommy, mommy, is Blue's Clues really dry snitching? Ooh. Daddy, Daddy, can I watch Peppa Pig even though we Muslim? Mama, Mama, can I get a GED from the schoolhouse rock? Ooh, ooh, Daddy, if Bluey is a girl, why does she look just like her daddy? Is she trans? What? Wait, Bluey's a girl, why does she look just like her daddy? Is she trans? What?

Wait, Bluey's a girl? Yes. Wait, then why? Why's she not pinky? Because daddy watches pinky videos all the time on the computer. Why does Dora always ask what something is when she got a map that talks? Mama, is Swiper no Swiper the Scammer? Daddy, Daddy, how does SpongeBob light a fire underwater?

Is Bikini Bottom in another dimension? Mama, Mama, hold on, hold on. Why Baby Shark got a Mommy Shark and a Daddy Shark, but Jimmy got a Daddy Shark and a Daddy Shark? Yo. Daddy, Daddy, when Peppa snorts, is she laughing or just communicating? And shouldn't Peppa's primary language be piglet? Mama, mama, you got these edibles from Grace's Corner?

Daddy, how does Dora's hair stay perfect through all those adventures? Mama, Mama. Daddy got locked up because he's from Sesame Street. Daddy, Daddy. Have you ever noticed Peppa Pig's house is on the steepest hill ever? Like if they roll out of bed, don't they just keep rolling?

Mama, Mama. Daddy said little Einstein gets a lot of head. What? Get a lot of what? He's smart because Einstein gets a lot of head. What? Get a lot of what? He's smart because he gets a lot of head. I think I caught contact. Daddy, Daddy, how come nobody ever questions the talking animals, maps, and backpacks on Dora the Explorer? Are they as high as we are right now?

Yes, they are, my child. The moral of the story is adults, when it comes to your edibles keep them locked out of sight and out of reach from the kids okay please give to mantha mcpherson the sweet sounds and the hamiltons you are the donkey i've heard this one in years you are the donkey i't heard this one in years of the day yee haw that's the karma gods

I actually think about a lot of this stuff when I'm high I have one more mommy why daddy stare at your sister's coca melon so much coca melons so much? Cocamelons! Daddy, is Peppa Pig really the origin story of where bacon comes from? Daddy, how come Boots wears boots and nothing else?

Nobody says anything. How does SpongeBob like to find underwater? Daddy! Yo, Envy, did we miss the hot box? I wish I took an edible because they laughing. Maybe they took an edible this morning. I'm always hot. We missed it. Why do you think I got the munchies so much?

I didn't get this way by accident. Lord have mercy. Sativa. Mommy, mommy, why is Mac so fat? I don't know. I want to join in. I don't know. I should have way by accident. Lord have mercy. Sativa. Mommy, mommy, why is Mac so fat? I don't know. I want to join in. I don't know. I should have took edible too.

We just sitting here because we got a new board up and they don't know when to go to break yet. No, it's topic time. Oh, okay. All right. Well, this is awkward and uncomfortable. Well, guys. We don't have a topic. No, we do have a topic what's the topic the topic is should your political choices divide your relationship so y'all remember like oh we

didn't have a meeting about the topics no we went back and forth and then they just said send audio but i don't trust the audio so i was like i'm not going that way i listened to the audio i listened to the audio so y'all remember like a few years ago right when it was like, I'm not going that way with it. No, I listened to the audio. I listened to the audio. So y'all remember like a few years ago, right? When it was like such a big thing if you were a Trump supporter or if you were not a Trump supporter, depending on what side you were on. People were like, I can't rock with you. I can't date you. So does your political views matter in your relationship?

Yeah. Like, would you? Like, yeah. You have to be on the same. You got to be aligned a bit. You have to be aligned. It's a little bit more trickier now because people are really on both sides so this comes out of uh robert f kennedy jr he sat down for an interview and he talks about how his wife is receiving hate for the fact that he is now a part of trump's like supporters but is his wife his wife doesn't have he he doesn't state who

she supports he just says that she supports him. And it made me think, like, I don't know if I could put up, she getting death threats online. She getting, I'm not going through all that. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Could you date somebody or marry somebody that their political views are not the same as yours? Maybe you're going for Kamala, they're going for Trump. Or maybe you're going for Trump, they're going for Kamala. Let's discuss.

800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Come on. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club.

That ain't calling my phone. Tell her, tell her. It's topic time. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura La Rosa is filling in for Jess. If you're just joining us, we're asking 800-585-1051.

We're asking if you're dating somebody or even marrying somebody, does your political views have to match? Would it be a problem if your spouse, your man or your girl is voting for Trump and you're on the commoner side? Does that matter to you? Let's start with you, Laura. Does it matter to you? Yes, it matters. I don't necessarily care

who people vote for because like you have your own reasonings but i just think that it would cause like just the back and forth that it would cause if i had the choice i wouldn't want to go through that and then also too if i'm with you and we're like married and locked in or like planning to be that goes into how we raise our kids too and like because for me in my house like i know that we don't like being held to like what our parents did or whatever but my mom for a very long time like i learned a lot of things about politics and how i felt or how i didn't want to feel from her and i grew up and i made a lot of my own decisions but my household had a lot to do with my interest and i don't know i just i wouldn't want my kids to be like having to pick a side between mommy

and daddy i don't think it's picking a side me and my wife have the same political views but i wouldn't have a problem if my wife uh leans towards something else other than something else that that that wouldn't define our relationship in our relationship we don't agree on everything so if she likes a particular candidate for a particular reason i can't be mad at that uh that's because that you know relates to her better than the other candidate does so to say that i'm not going to marry i'm not going to date or we're not going to continue on our relationship because her views on something else is different especially politically i don't care these political these political people ain't riding for me they're not dying for me these are their views and and hopefully these views can help other people but if there's something that they don't agree with with kamala or something

that they don't agree with with trump i'm not ending my marriage on my relationship based off of that charlotte i wouldn't have a problem normally with my partner if we weren't uh you know on the same page politically like i wouldn't care what political party they represent you know personally you know i guess i'm i think i feel like i'm more of a moderate i don't know uh but i think it matters more now because of what maga represents so there are certain things right like if i'm a man and let's say i support maga you know women's reproductive rights you know they abolish women's reproductive rights you know just their views on women when you think of the childless cat lady comments that a jd vance made i could see that being an issue like how could you be a man supporting that and you got a

wife and you got daughters yeah i think that would cause some pretty big arguments in the house i think that would cause the house to really really be divided so to answer the question i wouldn't have a problem with my partner being another political party normally but i think it matters more now because of what uh maga represents but that's like saying with joe biden and you know he was the one that helped write the 94 crime law bill. People are upset about that and people look at that differently. But like I said, it's just

a healthy debate whether you like it or not. Thank God me and my wife have the same political views, but if she didn't I can't say, well I'm ending the marriage because some people who are voting for Trump are not voting for Trump because who he is. They might be voting for Trump because of a policy that they like. That's the thing.

I can debate over policy. I can't debate over how you actually may feel about women. If you make comments like, you know, women that don't have children basically are less than or, you know, you take away a woman's right to choose. You take away their reproductive rights. That would cause some division in the House. That would be some arguments. I was about to say, y'all both have daughters right so it's like when you guys maybe particularly not you maybe you know your wives are having conversations with your daughters about

you know when they decide to start having boyfriends and sex and stuff like that there's a lot of different things that you guys are gonna have to talk to them about and it does lessen their options it does it's just a lot of different things that they're going to have to face that it would be very hard coming to one consensus if she believes one thing which would be obvious because of her politics as a kid i really do remember having these dreams and visions but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally

that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.

And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

That's the hard part. I want to see a daddy who's a who's who's a MAGA supporter who's got young daughters and what do you do when the daughter comes to you and says why do you support them

when they are the party that abolished women's reproductive rights he's probably going to stand on i i don't know it's a lot of you have to talk to a trump supporter and see why they're actually supporting trump because there's a lot of parents who believe in that's that's what you have to ask. I mean, there's nobody that's a one-issue voter. Correct. But so let's just say you ignore the women's reproductive issue because you support him because you like, I don't know, his stance on the economy. But my point is, what do you do when you got a young daughter

and she comes to you and ask you about the women's reproductive rights part? Right. That's a hell of a discussion. Well, let's go to the phone lines. We have Diane on line eight. Diane, good morning. Diane, good morning. Hi, good morning. Hey, now what's your thoughts?

Because you said your house is divided, right? Yes. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning. Oh, my God. Good morning. Yes, my house is divided.

I'm a Kamala Harris supporter, and my husband is a Trump supporter. Although he doesn't really invest himself in politics. Thank you, Maya. So that's that. And how do you, is it cool? I heard a kid in the background. Do you have young kids? I do have young kids.

We're a blended family. He comes with two children of his own. I have my oldest son who's serving, and we have two children together. So it's difficult when we have to parent and inform our children on certain things because we actually don't see eye to eye. I'm not a Trump supporter for the simple fact that he's an amoral human being, and I have daughters and nieces and cousins to think about. So do y'all have arguments? Sometimes it's gotten heated where I'm there like,

are you serious when he goes and tells me, you know, he's a very great businessman. I was like, a sick bankrupt person is a great businessman? How do you equate that? And sometimes the arguments do get heated but um sometimes i just go listen i know we're never gonna be eye to eye on this but you know you can't promote somebody like this to our children and kind of send them a mixed message i don't want our boys to even come close to emulating this man. You say that and you also got to say, whisper to him, your support of Trump makes me very dry.

Oh. I'm going to use that next time. Thank you, mama. Sound like he used that one in the house before, Diane. All right, let's go. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name?

Hi, this is Ebony Hey Ebony What's your stance as far as Being in a relationship with somebody that May not see eye to eye on political views Well I'm in a relationship with somebody That doesn't have the same political views as me And it's not a detriment to my relationship at all

What's your views Ebony What's your views Tell me what's your views first I'm a Democrat. I 100% believe in women's rights as a woman myself, as a black woman. Absolutely.

Okay. But it's not a decadence of my relationship. It allows us to actually have, you know, healthy conversation. I get to see life through his eyes or, you know, the way in which he sees it.

It gives me things to think about and I'm not necessarily worried about who I'm laying next to if this person is going to wake up and be somebody else because he really stands on his business, like, you know, his views and the way that he sees things. So it really allows me a real choice as to whether or not I'm going to, you know, be with this person and the outlook on life and our future. So I feel like it shouldn't be a bad thing i

mean just because i like steak fries and he like has browns on me we should hate potatoes it's the same thing like we have to live in this country i'm just i'm just asking questions i don't i'm not judging i don't i don't really care either way i'm just asking questions um you said that you care about women's rights so i'm assuming he's a trump supporter right um yes he is so not like a diehard but he he just sees things certain things that trump does you know he he agrees with it but we saw we've seen he has uh we see the attack on women's reproductive rights right that they've i mean you know abolished roe v wade so what does he say about that in regards to your stance um well what I've just found out recently we had that conversation but we never would have had it if he didn't disagree with my

view so now you know being a man of course his whole life he doesn't or did not see the way that I see reproduction he sees it as like oh you know you know, you're pregnant, you should have it, and that is murder, whatever, whatever. And then when I give him my stance on it and, you know, the way a woman may feel or the actual process and things of that nature, the history of it, because he wasn't given that, it gives him something to think about he's not so extreme with his thinking now that he sees or hears a different point of view and i'm the same way i can't you know i'm not so rah-rah about disliking the republic party when he's giving me his reasons as to why he agrees with what they stand for i can't be be mad at that. It's a healthy relationship. Every relationship has debate,

I would hope, but healthy debate. Healthy dialogue. I like that. 800-585-1051. Could you be in a relationship or date somebody that you don't see eye to eye

on political views? Let's discuss this at the Breakfast Club. Come on. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's Topic Time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Lauren LaRose is filling in for Jess. And if you're just joining us, 800-585-1051. We're asking, could you be in a relationship with somebody if you don't see eye to eye on political views now lauren came up with this topic which is crazy because you know i would think any topic about being in a relationship would be triggering to her but triggering huh why would it be triggering i'm sorry i was talking you are a young beautiful intelligent woman with all of her life ahead of

her potentials why would it be triggering potential what potentially you need someone in my business Beautiful, intelligent woman with all of her life ahead of her. Potentials. Why would it be triggering? Potential what? Potentially you need someone in my business. That's what it's giving. Okay. Well, let's go to the phone lines. We have Orlando on the line.

Orlando, good morning. What up, DJ? And we hope all is well with you. Hello, Charlamagne and to that young lady. How y'all doing? Peace, Orlando. Are you calling from Florida? Nope.

I'm calling from the D. What up, though? Okay. What up, D? He said, what up, D? What though okay what up d jesus now what's your opinion orlando solomay be on that worry about the wrong stuff i'm gonna be honest with you something wrong with me soon as you said the d he was confused but basically in my opinion i believe you got a few different aspects of it. First, if you are different races. So if I'm a black man, which I am, and I'm married to a white woman, I don't think it will work if we have different political views. Because say she's Republican and I'm Democrat.

Tamika Mallory just came up there and she talked about a police killing. You go home, try to talk to your wife. Y'all might have different ideas. Now, if you're married to somebody that's black, I think people evolve because my experience, I've been a Democrat all my life until the last election. I voted green. And the older I become, the more money I'm making. I have more Republican views and conservative views than i do democratic views now and my wife she's not too political but i'm certain she's still democrat and since i'm more political it's not a regular conversation in our household too much we debate about something but it really don't affect our marriage at all i think there's nuance to that though because i don't know if you necessarily have conservative views you just might believe with some conservative economic policies i believe i don't believe you have

conservative views overall now gino is here and he hung up on the guy yeah because we got to get to hello gino good morning good morning what up though this is gino what up though charlamagne what up though what up though lauren you call it from on top of the D Oh my goodness But yeah I just want to comment on the topic And I believe yeah you should If you in a relationship And you should you know what I'm saying Like go the same way I believe

As the head of the household Whether that's a man or whether that's a woman You know what I'm saying but Am I going to force you to do that no i'm not a controlling person not in that way you know what i'm saying you you should have had an option to do that it shouldn't be a competition and you'd be combative and and just just to do it just to go against that person i agree i think there's a lot of nuance in the answers that we're getting this time versus what i felt like people felt like a few years ago why y'all think that is oh it's a good it's a good thing it could be a bad thing

could be a good thing too i think people are paying attention a little bit more and they're more politically sophisticated but what i would say if you're paying attention more in 2024 than you were in 2020 i don't see how you could be a man in a relationship with a woman and support donald trump just just just because of everything he's done to attack women's reproductive rights then you get a vice president and jd vance who says things like you know childless cat women shouldn't be able to vote because they don't really care about the future because they're not invested in it as a man with a with a wife and daughters i don't see how you can support that but people aren't one one uh one interest voters either though so you know they

might have other interests i don't know a lot of people feel like that trump is a businessman and he runs the country like a business a lot of people feel like trump is very america first a lot of people feel like trump will cut tax rates so people look at different sides uh i'm with charlamagne when it comes to as far as women's rights but you know people look at you know what's best for them as far as policy because a concern and but it's a relationship you know it is what it is i do like the households that can have healthy discussions about it should be able to have debates and not the discussion is is different because if i don't i honestly don't even see how the discussion could be healthy because every because the way that the politicians set each other up, everything is so divisive now.

It's true. But if you could do it healthy, I think maybe that's a good example for the kids. I just keep thinking about, like, how do you raise your kids? Because I just remember growing up and, like, it was such a big thing. My daughter is 22 years old. Madison's 22. We talk about everything in the house and that was if she says dad i want to go this way or dad i i believe in this candidate i'm

not going to say well get out my house that's her that's her opinion that's what her thoughts that's what we raise our kids to do to be thinkers that you know you think outside the box think what you believe don't be a sheep don't follow the crowd you you you do your research and you think how you want to think you come up with your opinion based off of your research, not anybody else. That one young lady who called did make a good point. She said that when she feels a way about her husband's views or her husband feels a way about her views, they have a discussion about it and sometimes they can see where the other person is coming from. Correct.

That's all I care about. If you make a decision, I'm fine with your decision as long as it's coming from an informed place. That's right. You know? All right. Well, we got Jess with the mess with Lauren LaRosa coming up. Yes, we do. Steve Harvey threw some subliminals, not really even subliminals, threw some shots back at

Cat Williams. And he also commented on, not directly though, but he commented on what I think was Mike Rubin's comments up here about the black community hating on each other. Okay. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. News is real. black community hating on each other okay we'll get into that next is the breakfast local morning the breakfast club

on the breakfast club On The Breakfast Club I'm back And I got the man Talk to me For just signing out The reason the boards Are a little off Shut up and stop explaining Now you gotta tell people

Cause it sounds crazy Yeah I was gonna tell them You gotta tell It sounds crazy Our board op is on vacation And one of our producers Is out so Art is holding it down

He's doing the best that he can You better shut up If I tell him the truth on this, please. Just tell him the truth. That's half of the truth. Don't get me started on this damn radio.

Go ahead, Lauren. Don't let him talk to no new hires. So real quick before we get into Steve Harvey, I did want to make mention when we talked about Alicia Keys, that was from a TikTok.

That was from Central C's ex-girlfriend, Madeline. I figured it. She was recreating it. Yeah, because Madeline had the viral video of her crying, asking what do DJs do.

So DJs have started remixing it and also criticizing her. So, of course, people started remixing Alicia Keys' and started criticizing her. But moving on, Steve Harvey at InvestFest. He had a few things to say, number one, about Cat Williams and about when Michael Rubin was up here talking about the black community. Let's take a listen to the Cat Williams stuff. You'll never have a hater that's doing better than you.

Always know that. Don't get off the wall to dress up pity any ass boy who ain't got shit doing for himself. Now you can stop Joe Climber on the wall so you can come down here and talk to his little cunt. Don't do that, man. I stay away from it. Now do I want to? Yes. Cause I'm a human being and I'm lured. I used to be a fighter and I still got hands. They slow but if you get up on me real close I can still knock your mother ass out. I just don't have the quickness I need. But I'm still going to turn my hip and shift that weight.

And I'll knock your short ass out. I'll shoot your perm straight out your head. Okay, Uncle. Uncle Steve be cooking, though, don't he? The funniest part about that, I think, because the video was kind of blurry. It looked like he leaned back and grabbed his cigar. He lit his cigar right after that. He probably crossed his leg.

Okay, Uncle. Right. So because he said the whole perm thing and mentioned the height, everybody's like, this is definitely about in response to Cat Williams.

Remember, Cat Williams was on Club Che Che. Yep. And he said that Steve Harvey couldn't get a job in Hollywood because he was a country

bumpkin black dude that can't talk good. Gee, now he got several. But I will say this about Steve Harvey and Cat Williams. I don't want to see either one of them

brothers fighting. They're not going to fight. You know what I'm saying? I understand. Like Steve said, he's human, so he feels that way. But you don't want to see either one of them brothers fighting. They're not going to fight. You know what I'm saying? I understand. Like Steve said, he's human, so he feels that way. Yeah, right.

Yeah. And he said he still got hands. Y'all still got hands? Who? How old are y'all? Yeah. When do you lose your hands? You don't never lose your hands.

You just lose your stamina and all that other stuff. I have no idea if I still got hands. You never know until you get in a fight. All these old motherfuckers be out here talking about

they got hands until they get in a fight. And then they're like, damn. I thought I felt I saw somebody like you need to be practicing you need once a week you need to figure that out

once a week cause you be up here Charlamagne knocked somebody out 10 years ago yeah like 2009 2004 I don't know

he knocked them out like were people still did the person have baggy jeans and just couldn't get away let me tell y'all something no he was bigging

at Charlamagne and snuck Charlamagne from behind and Charlamagne turned around Charlamagne ain't trying to fight no we are not has hired armed security that will legally pop you i know that's right okay yeah we both have but charlemagne used to have hands fighting put him on his ass i was impressed you were i was impressed you liked his voice it turned you on

it did okay all right i ain't got. Well, speaking of keeping peace amongst our community, Steve Harvey also did address that. And I believe that this was in response to Michael Rubin being up here and saying that black people hate on each other too much. Take a listen. We have got to change the way we look out for one another. We have got to be more in the build up business than the tear down business. We got white folks coming on podcasts, talking about how we ought to act towards each other.

We don't need white folks checking us, telling us how to be towards each other. We know how to be towards one another. We just got to get in charge of it. We got to start checking one another. When you see these cats over here wasting your time on podcasts with all this negativity why is it so many clicks and likes man why don't we ever check people on that why don't we defend one another what happened to being happy for people in love what happened to cheering for families what happened to wanting this brother's business to win Unk is absolutely right

but everybody can't go okay no no Unk is right he's right but everybody can't go and the breakfast love is he was talking about Mike Rubin

but Mike Rubin started a conversation that people are now talking about this was something that's been happening for years so although people are mad that Mike Rubin started

that conversation people are having that conversation and hopefully things do change I wouldn't even say he started it I think he just made people like it stung Rubin started that conversation, people are having that conversation, and hopefully things do change. I wouldn't even say he started it. I think he just made people like, it stung a little bit. So it made people get a little louder. Hey, man.

Everybody can't go. Okay? Build the arc. All right? No more wall? Build the arc. Now you want an arc? He don't got no walls no more?

Build the arc. You said you got no walls? Build the wall, too. Before he wanted a wall. But I'd rather build the ark because when you see the person building the ark you can either assist the person and you know get on the ark with them

but if not when it start raining let them drown alright well that is just what the mess with Lauren LaRosa alright keep it locked it's the breakfast club it's the people's choice mix up next don't go anywhere the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the
